Radbri/Rabri
is a royal dessert which is prepared by
slow cooking milk and then collecting the Milk Cream and then flavoured with
dry fruits and Saffron. It is also used in many other desserts like RasMalai, Rasgulla,
Malpua .It is usually had after a heavy meal .As it is prepared using milk
solids it is high in calories so perfect way to end a fast. And a great idea
for an iftar party .It is so creamy rich and delicious. Many variations can be
made in this however I have prepared a basic version. Now let’s get started!!

1.Soak
the Almonds and Pistachios in hot water for about 30 mins. After so mins peel
the skin and milk thin slices out of them and set aside. In a thick bottomed
pan add in the full fat milk and bring it to boil.

2.Once
it comes to a boil simmer the flame .The milk will start forming the Malai/Cream
layer. With the help of a ladle move it towards the sides of the pan and let
it be there.

3.Continue
collecting the Malai/Cream layer till the milk thickens and reduced to almost
less than half of its original quantity. Now add in the Sliced Almonds, Pistachios
and Saffron.

4.Mix
well and then add in Sugar and Cardamom Powder Simmer for another two minutes
.By now the Radbi would have formed and becomes slightly yellow in colour. Now
bring all the collected malai or Cream to the reduced milk and mix well and
then switch off the flame.

Notes:

·Don’t Stir Continuously.
If so the Malai Layer will not be formed. Allow the milk to stand for some
time and then stir occasionally.

·But make sure
the milk is not burned. Using a thick bottomed pan will be a better choice.

·The Final quantity
of Rabdi will be ¼ th of the original quantity.

·Serve warm or
chilled. And I prefer it chilled.
